I was wondering if there was any one who has studied or currently studying Hokori shin ? and where ?

I studied this style for many years in Virginia and It's based off of kyokushinkai...I'm wondering if one of my senseis is still teaching. thanks !

Our sensei, Master George Crump, was taught this style and was either one of two or the only one to pass this form of kyokushin-kai on from his original sensei. Unfortunately after I moved away from VA, and he moved I havent been able to contact them, and he is no longer teaching. But one of his higher level students started to teach in VA I beleive, but I never met them. So I figured if there was any one that had heard of that style that I might be able to trace it back to him. very confusing haha, but thanks for the welcomes and showing of interest

Does the style have a website, with any student information on it? Perhaps you could start by trying to get in touch with some of the students who you used to train with, and start backtracking that way. Kind of like doing a geneolgy search.

I practiced under George Crump many years ago from around 1990-1994 where I attained 3rd degree brown belt. It has been a few years since I last heard about him but here is what I know. George and Gail were no longer teaching as of 2004. I too tried to hunt him down for the very same reason. I spoke with Mr. Sheetz who at that time was running his own class focusing on HoKori Shin in McKinney. Me and a friend, Glenn Wilson (not sure if you ever met Glenn) went to check out his class and decided not to join. Glenn attained his 1st degree black belt under Master Crump. Mr. Sheetz' teaching style and discipline were very different from that of Master Crump and we both felt he was a little too easy on his group where the discipline was concerned. I'm sure you remember, Master Crump was a great guy on the outside, but in class you had to keep a straight and narrow or you'd be doing finger tip push ups. Nonetheless, Master Crump was an incredible instructor with a very good heart and had a true love for the art. The last I saw him was at the Dojo that we had off of Hull Street near the 360 shopping center. That was back when Tristan Pallegrino was still with the class. From my understanding, Master Crump quit teaching because of the slipped disks in his back and multiple surgeries. I hope this helps shed some light. I was shocked to see someone else on the board who even knew about the style.
